Eclipse Story Idea

October 2, 2023

Our media team has received a few inquiries from reporters asking if there are any cultural sensitivities to be aware of related to the Annular Eclipse that will be crossing over New Mexico and Balloon Fiesta on October 14^th. Our friends and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center shared this very insightful article on the topic in Smithsonian Magazine.

Those seeking an indoor location at Balloon Fiesta during the eclipse, can head to the Balloon Discovery Center on the north end of the launch field.
